Brothers, c. 1990s). Virgil Ross (1907-1996) was a long-time
Warner Brothers animator who worked in the Bob Clampett, Tex Avery,

Collection" for the Warner Brothers Studio Stores and animation
galleries. He began making personal appearances where requests for
original artwork were met with him doing one of a kind drawings of
the Looney Tunes characters as well as other cartoons he worked on
for other studios. He was given the prestigious Winsor McCay Award
in 1988. This is an original one of a kind Virgil Ross original
drawing of Speedy Gonzales (with cheese!) produced by Mr. Ross in
blue pencil on 12 field animation paper, and hand-signed. In Fine
